Shortly after announcing that the popular Adult Swim series Rick and Morty has a new season due in November, the show's creator Dan Harmon has dropped another bombshell — announcing that rapper and superfan Kanye West will be given control of his own episode.

Earlier this week it was announced that the cartoon series, which screens on Netflix in NZ, would release the fourth season in November in this year.

During the launch event, show creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland were asked if they would ever collaborate with the rapper, who has previously professed his love for the show.

"I'm giving him an episode," Harmon said. "I'm making it official. We have 70, he can have one. Kanye, you can have one."
